The family of a 55-year-old man who died after he was shot while driving in St. Paul is reeling from his loss and believes it was a random incident.
Jeff Mintz was supposed to be out for the last time Wednesday night before quarantining as a precaution for his daughter’s small wedding in two weeks, said his son, Lee Mintz. He drove for a food delivery service, but it wasn’t known if he was working at the time.
Mintz, of St. Paul, called 911 after he was shot Wednesday about 10 p.m. while driving on Snelling Avenue near University Avenue. He died about two hours later, early Thursday, at Regions Hospital.
